Things get turbulent, melodramatic, and silly in v5. Another incarcerated Butcher is released to return to Buckaroo, and the Nailbiter partners with Hack/Slash's Cassie and Ivan in a nifty flashback crossover. We're given a number of abridged reveals.Plot points: (view spoiler)[--Flashback: Cassie and Ivan meet the Nailbiter while they track the Butcher known as Mister Fatal. --The Blonde returns to Buckaroo and re-opens the Murder Store.--Alice is kicked out by her foster parents when they lear...

Keeps on plowing ahead, doesn’t feel like it’s spinning it’s wheels to stretch out the sales volumes. Instead we get a big reveal of details behind the Big Bad and his plans, backstory, motives. Not all is revealed (identity, grand purpose) but it made me double-take - like, how are we getting this close to the truth with still three trades’ worth of story left to tell? Makes me a little suspicious actually, that this isn’t the real problem in this town. Are we being played, misdirected? Is ther...

Finally, bis of the story begin to unfold! This installment was everything I wanted. It had back story! And we finally got to glimpse some of the Buckaroo secrets, even if they are still vague. It kept me on the edge of my seat.

Another good installment. It kind of reminds me of LOST how it's all wrapped up in intrigue. I hope it doesn't just keep spinning with no end in sight like LOST did. I think the story could be wrapped up in one more volume.

I just loved this volume! My previous concerns about not getting closer to the mystery reveal are no longer valid - volume 5 really gave the readers a proper look behind the curtain, even though there are so many more questions to be answered after this. Great balance of character building, action, and that mysterious and murderous atmosphere I love this comic book series for!

Only one volume left!There's a crossover issue with Hack/Slash which I assumed would be a fun issue but ultimately pointless. Not so! You actually come back to what happens in this issue, so pay attention.Alice ends up in the middle of a bloodbath after finding out that Crane and Warren are her parents. The identity of the creepy dude with the horns is revealed.PLUS MORE!We're moving into the last phase of the story and I'm pretty freaking hooked.Recommended!

alice i would die for you

I didn't love this volume despite some big jumps in story. Okay I think I just felt a little "bored" reading this one? Maybe because the begining effects are starting to feel off but Nailbiter just isn't capturing with moments like it did in the first few volumes. I especially didn't like Crane in this volume and she's usually my favorite character. Also the Hack/Slash crossover felt pointless, even when it did connect back to the main story. However I liked getting the reveal of who was behind

This starts off with a fun encounter between Warren and Mister fatal in the past and it happens in some ferris wheel and where Warren meets this girl named Cassie and Vlad and its a fun one but informs the current story about how Warren on finding out whatever happened to Alice and how she is related to him, jumps and goes to her while he and Finch are returning to this town. Then we have the whole plot of investigations by Shannon and Finch and we learn so many things like the secrets of this t...

Rating: 3.5/5 Very good 😁Emotions:Interest, anticipation, curiosity.Recommended if you like : Graphic novels, thrillers, serial killer stories, dark stories .Would I read something else from this author? YesI liked this volume because it gave a lot of information about the town’s serial killers and the story advanced a lot. Can’t wait to read the conclusion.I highly recommend this series.

(A-) 81% | Very GoodNotes: Old names return, impactful burns, a lot is learned, a bloody mess, folks coalesce, though randomness feels in excess.

Great stuff. Coming to a conclusion but hopefully some twists with the reveal. Highly recommend this series!!

Bullet Review:Here are the answers - PSYCH!! Wait until next issue for the REAL answers!!!How did this get 6 volumes?!

I NEED VOLUME 6 YESTERDAY.

This is getting really frustrating. Everyone who comes to know about the truth says that it will change the world. But before they can share it with others, they either get killed or go crazy. Some even decide not to share it, for inexplicable reasons. Also, I hate the character of Nicholas Finch. Just because you're an information extractor (read 'torturer') with a temper does not mean you'll go around punching anyone you don't like. I'm not even sure anymore if he's the main character.

Alice is targeted by the horned butcher and his identity finally revealed. This is like Lost though. For every answer that gets revealed, three more raise their ugly head. And then some wacko out of place element shows up, like a polar bear on a tropical island. We get our first glimpse at the master, so maybe this thing is entering the third act?

I really liked this arc. Not too crazy about the whole biological sci fi stuff that gets introduced here but quite a good read.

At this moment this might be my favourite ongoing series from Image comics which is saying something since the have more than few good ones. In volume 5 we finally get some answers as plot slowly unravels and things are starting to heat up. Only problem with this kind of series is that half a year wait between collected editions ( at least for us who don't read individual issues) is killing a lot of suspense.

An impactful end - for now, at least - to an exceptional series. Though the horror is brought up to a ten, everything else, from art to the plotline, is a 12/10, so it's worth it. Exceptional series! Garth Ennis/Warren Ellis level.

The aftermath of the revelations of the previous volume come to a head with Warren trying to help Alice, and meeting the Master. We also meet a few more Buckeroo butchers and some potential ones. We almost get an explanation for everything but not quite, which is fine and dandy by me. I am going to be so sad to be reading the final volume next but I also can't even wait.
